If your pedals are produced with a rub-
ber or plastic coating, rst carefully fa-
miliarise yourself with the grip of the
pedals. The pedals may be very slippery
under wet conditions. Use safe terrain
without trafc to familiarise yourself with
system pedals or clipless pedals.
1. Please note that the weight distribu
-
tion of the e-bike is different from that
of a bicycle without electrical drive.
The weight of an e-bike makes park
-
ing, lifting, carrying or pushing up-hill
more difcult.
2. Take note that your FLYER must be
equipped according to the legal re
-
quirements if it is to be used in public
road trafc.
3. Check with your insurance whether
your vehicle and possible risks of
handling lithium/ion batteries are suf
-
ciently covered.
9. Before each ride
Please check your FLYER before each
ride, as even after assembly, briey
leaving the bike in public places or trans
-
porting it may cause functions to change
or parts to become loose.
Before every ride, please check that:
• The brakes are working properly and are secure,
and you have checked for wear on the pads and
braking surfaces. For hydraulic systems: Check
the cables and connections for leaks.
• Check that the tyres have the correct air pres
-
sure. Please note the specications in Chapter
"Tyres and tubes" (12.2). These are also print
-
ed on the outside wall of the tyres.
• Check for any damage on the tyres, including
wear, foreign objects and brittle appearance. Also
be sure the tyres have enough tread on them.
• Check that the wheels are safely and correctly
attached by fastening nuts or quick release
fasteners.
• Check that the gear shift components are
working and are safely secured.
• All quick release fasteners and quick release
axles (even after a brief period left parked and
unattended), as well as screws and nuts to en
-
sure they are rmly attached.
• Check the frame and fork for damage, defor
-
mation, cracks and dents.
• Check that suspension elements are working
properly and are safely secured.

1. If you are not sure that your
FLYER e-bike is in perfect techni-
cal condition, do not start your ride.
Have your FLYER rst inspected
and repaired by a FLYER specialist
retailer. If you subject your FLYER
to intensive use (in sporting or
daily use), we recommend regular
inspection and repairs by your FLYER
specialist retailer. Inspection proce
-
dures and intervals are specied in
Chapter 19. All components of the
FLYER are safety-related and have
a specic service life. Exceeding this
service life can lead to unexpected
failure of the components. This can
lead to falls and serious injury.
2. The vehicle is subject to wear and
high stress as are all other mechani
-
cal components. Depending on the
degree of stress imposed on them,
different materials and parts may re
-
act differently in terms of wear and
fatigue. A part may suddenly fail and
cause injuries to the driver when its
designed service life is exceeded.
Any kind of cracks, scratches or col
-
our changes in high-stress areas are
an indicator that the service life of the
component has been exceeded and
that it should be replaced.
1. It is essential to have your FLYER
checked by a FLYER specialist retail
-
er after a fall or when your FLYER has
fallen over! Many components cannot
be safely repaired and components
may be damaged in a way that you
cannot recognise.
